Here's a shot of Highway 21 down the road from me. It's been snowin' like the dickens here for weeks . This is all lake effect snow from Lake Huron and Lake Superior, both of which haven't frozen over for more than a decade now due to Global Warming...
Lake effect snow comes from COLD air flowing over warmer open water and then carried inland by the wind...
Post up some pics of where you are from if you can, whether it be dreadfull crap like the pic below,...OR if you live in a more tropical area like some folks I know do...
Here's me and a few buddies havin' a beer and playing cards (2nd pic)...

Ship it. Not even the smallest amount of snow this winter so far. Here is one of the warmest part of the country, so there usually is not that much snow anyway, but nothing at all is quite rare even for my neck of the woods.

be a sport demo- ship a few shovels over here...it's pretty darn cold in Lithuania, but there's very little snow around, not even yellow one.
Snow is precipitation in the form of flakes of crystalline water ice that falls from clouds. Since snow is composed of small ice particles, it is a granular material.

This makes me feel cold just by looking at the pictures!! There are some crazy weather patterns around the world at the moment and reading about temperatures of -20 are frightening. Just hope that your internet connection remains intact and just play poker until Spring!

I visited Lake Huron and Superior a few years back in the Summer with temperatures over 30c.... The weather extremes there are amazing to me.... so different.

I dont think there are too many people that dont like snow. especially those who doesnt see it often, like myself. Always some snow is appreciated, although it means more cold and more expenses for heating

------------ We have a ton of snow right now....
Hey snippydude.... you're only a few hours drive south of me here,....I would imagine you have JUST as much, if not MORE snow than us up here...
That's how winters USED to be around here when I was a kid growing up. They were colder and SNOWIER back then. We used to drive our snowmobiles up onto the roof of the Gift Bowl at Sauble....
Come to think of it now,....it's a good thing none of our machines went through the roof...!
BUSTED,.....for sure.....
